Japanese Patent JPS517616
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A circuit for controlling a seatbelt retractor of a motor vehicle. The retractor is of the type which permits initial withdrawal of the seatbelt from the retractor and which locks to prevent further seatbelt withdrawal upon decrease of the withdrawal force or upon slight retraction of the seatbelt. The control circuit prevents the locking of the seatbelt retractor if the vehicle is in a predetermined condition, such as its transmission lever being in a neutral or park position, and if the vehicle seating position for which the seatbelt retractor is provided is occupied. Prevention of retractor locking simplifies and eliminates annoyance to a vehicle occupant fastening the seatbelt about him.
